Hi, I just read your post and I'm here to tell you that your fears are very common. I was banded on Nov. 9, 2009, just one month ago, and I've lost 31.5 lbs so far. I'll tell you the truth, as I see it. The first 2 days after surgery I felt like I'd been hit by a truck-I ached from my jaw to my knees-but it started to subside by the 3rd night and quickly improved after that. I had gas but not so much passing gas as burping. I felt pressure between my breastbone but not pain. My dr. suggested that I take GAS-X and it seemed to help. Having nothing but liquids for the first 2 weeks was no problem nor was the soft diet for the next 2 weeks. I am starting on a regular diet today but plan to eat sensibly. I've been doing fine without carbs so why start eating them now. I know it's only been a month but I'm ecstatic with my results and still very happy that I did it. I don't come on the site too often but if you'd like to email me directly, here's my email address: myqueen80@gmail.com I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have. By the way, I'm 52 also. And I feel so much better, physically, already. Good luck with whatever you decide:smile2: -
Sorry you're having problems but I'm a newbie so I don't have any advice. I'd call the dr.'s offcie back and insist on a call back, though. You deserve the proper attention.

Dawn-anything is possible. It's good that you're going in for the dr. to check. If they need to remove some Fluid then that's what they'll have to do. You need to stay healthy. Good luck, Barb

Cindy-welcome and feel free to ask away. I'm only 4 days post-op but so far, so good. Take care, Barb

OMG! You've come so far already!! Good luck on Monday. I had my surgery last Monday. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Crishell, I hope you have a wonderful time on each of your dates and maybe one of them will turn out to be Mr. Right. Or at least Mr. Right-now. Have fun!! -
Hi Stacey,
Sorry I haven't checked my messages. My name is Barbara and I was banded in New Brunswick, NJ. How are you doing? I felt like a truck hit me on Tues. and Weds., but not so much today. I started full liquids yesterday and ever since I've felt a lot of pressure between my breast bones. Once I burp it seems to ease up. I called the dr.'s office and spoke with nurse and she said it's normal. What has your experience been like? My regular email address is myqueen80@gmail.com. I check that one regularly.
Take care and I will try to post a photo.

Any November 2009 Bandsters??

Well, I'm 2 days post-op and not hungry. I do feel like I've been hit by a truck, though. Very sore from my jaw down to my knees. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Still glad I did it. -

Hope you're doing well. I had my surgery on the 9th and feel like I've been hit by a truck...very sore, but doing ok.
